Melodies Sung to the Heart
lessons learned on the road
dance of dirt and dust.
struggle through freedom
fight through happiness —
nothing’s what it seems.
smile through tears,
prance through the rain.
hold on until you can’t —
then let it all go and sail
to the beauty of your mind.
darkness won’t prevail,
one day you’ll be free —
to sing the pure gold melodies
your heart carries in its depths.
whistle to the flowers
that survived the cold,
sing to the birds
that guided your way.
hum to the roots running deep,
that never let you lose your strength.
chant to the palms
still swinging
in the wind of your dreams.
let your song unravel itself
in all the ways it wants to.
